Cronos is by far the better film here. Night Flier was mediocre at it's best, but it was a fun little flick.
Oh, my, for a second I thought it was about "The Night Flyers", alias "Where Michael Praed Ended Up after Dropping His Pants on 'Robin of Sherwood'..."
Cronos was the better film no doubt...but Night Flier holds a special place in my trashy heart.It is by far the more re-watchable of the two.Miguel Ferrer makes for a great anti-hero in it.
I don't often vote for a film without having seen the other, but in this case I will make an exception. I love, love, LOVE Cronos and I doubt that something as shitty-looking as The Night Flier could ever be better than it.
Cronos is an awesome film. Somewhat underrated in the Del Toro film library -- It's my personal favorite of his. I'll admit, I haven't seen Night Flier, but Cronos is so up there for me, I can't imagine it being better.
Cronos is much better... ...but, this is the rare case in which I barely care. I just did not like it at all. I still voted for it. But I don't know if I will ever rewatch it. Ever. The Night Flier I've already seen twice. And will rewatch again.
